Music News: Jack Johnson to headline Bluesfest 2010!

Today, Bluesfest unveiled a major new announcement – that Jack Johnson will be the headline artist at the Bluesfest 21st Anniversary festival held in Byron Bay over Easter from Thursday April 1 through to Monday April 5, 2010.

Jack Johnson’s exclusive 2010 Bluesfest appearances mark his first Australian appearances since March 2008, and his first Bluesfest appearances since 2005. These hotly anticipated Bluesfest performances are truly special as there will be no other Jack Johnson Australian shows on this tour!

To add perspective on this announcement, Jack Johnson’s last Australian tour (2008) included a sold out Centennial Park in Sydney (28,000 capacity), and two Myer Music Bowl shows in Melbourne (about 20,000 capacity each). At Bluesfest, Jack will be joined by his long time band members Adam Topol (Drums), Merlo Podlewski (Bass) and Zach Gill (Keys).

Jack Johnson and the other new artists from today’s announcement – join the staggering list of fantastic first round artists revealed in October.

Jack joins Crowded House, Buddy Guy, Roger Hodgson from Supertramp, Gipsy Kings, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club®, Jeff Beck, Lyle Lovett, RocKwiz, Jimmy Barnes Plays the Rhythm & the Blues, Jessica Mauboy, The Swell Season, Newton Faulkner, Dr John & the Lower 911, Bčla Fleck’s African Project Featuring Oumou Sangarč & band, Blue King Brown, Al Di Meola World Sinfonia, Gogol Bordello, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Joe Bonamassa, Peter Green & friends, The Flatlanders, Avett Brothers, Justin Townes Earle, Renee Geyer, Colin Hay Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, Lil Band o’ Gold, Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express, AND Robert Gordon & the Gang They Couldn’t Hang - featuring Chris Spedding (Roxy Music), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), and Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Donavon Frankenreiter, Ozomatli, Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club®, and Galactic.
